Description from the seller
Set of Four Chinese Imari Cups and Saucers with Carp
China, Kangxi–Yongzheng period, early 18th century
A charming set of four Chinese porcelain cups and saucers, decorated in the characteristic Imari palette of underglaze blue, iron red and gilt.
The central decoration is particularly attractive, depicting carp swimming among rippling water, surrounded by lively sprays of flowers and auspicious fruits, including Buddha's hand citron and peaches. The combination of the animated carp and richly arranged floral and fruit motifs creates a lively and auspicious composition.
The use of the Imari colour palette reflects the strong influence of Japanese Imari porcelain on Chinese export wares during the early 18th century.
